welcome back back again again. lol.
|
welcome back to R-F, Steve!
|
Thanks...
Thanks my friends. The reason I'm considering an automatic in my truck is that my left knee is killing me and my last Doctor visit wasn't good. The pric doctor wants me to have another knee surgery and I said oh hell no. It won't help in this situation. It's artheritis that has built up from having too many injuries and knee surgeries.

Welcome back and I feel your pain on that literally. I have arthritis in my left and right knee. A lot worse in my left. It's why I have an auto right now, but surprisingly when I drove a manual for almost 2 years it actually helped build my knee up so and I had fewer issues. So I am highly considering the swap on my truck lol.

Hey Steve.....have you considered a 700r4? 4spd auto GM trans??
You won't have to deal with typical ford trans issues, can have a built to the balls 700r4, and all you'd need is a driveshaft modification, an adaptor plate between the engine and trans, and possibly a new crossmemeber. I'd put a floor shifter in it. |

That is what I had in mind but I found out that I do indeed have to change the rear axle out because that is where my clutch is. It has one of odd ball clutches. When it went out I went under there to adjust it just enough to get it to the dealer and couldn't. That 700R4 is one of the best trannys you get. Plus my mom helped me get the truck and she has yet to drive it because she can't drive a 5 speed. That is the other reason I want an automatic.

what the heck you talking about rear axle clutches?????? Your clutch is located in the bellhousing and is non adjustable(being hydrailic). No need to swap your axle for a 700r4 swap. just your slip yoke on the shaft to one that'll mate into/onto the 700r4. possibly shorten/lengthen of the shaft as well.

hmmm.....
I know there's a few threads involing this swap here and over on rps. I think Wayne was throwing the idea around or maybe he actually did the swap. I'd run like a 1900 stall converter, but thats just me. it's not like there's 500hp going to it. lol..so 1900 might be too high. I've got a 3000 B&M in my chevy that's pumpin 475. I'd check those threads as the converted is something i didn't look too deep into when i was considering the swap. |
They must have given you some really good pain killer!!
Glad your back!!! What projects you thinking of other than the Tranny? |
